Real Hope in the Midst of a Culture Gone Awry! Yes, we live in this kind of culture and world. However, it is clear in the Bible that the more we pursue the knowledge of God, as defined and described in Scripture, and the more we are devoted to him, the more he will work in us and through us during the perilous times in which we live. Therefore, in thinking about the extraordinary impact biblical truth can have on our society, this book focuses on three vitally important areas in the Bible: how God reveals his existence through nature and his Word, how he discloses his character through his attributes and promises, and how he calls his people to seek the knowledge of himself through the fear of the Lord and the bearing of his image. Thus, the purpose of this book is to lead believers into a deeper understanding of what God is like, a deeper understanding of what he has promised to those who know him, and a deeper understanding of the unshakable hope and strong encouragement we have in God's Word as we live in a confused and deteriorating culture. Rather than simply decrying the devastating changes in our nation and world, this book clearly proclaims the hope that is ours in the very nature and character of God himself, the identity and security believers have in Christ, and the biblical guidance we need in order to be salt and light in our generation. A God-centered, truth-loving, Christ-exalting approach to life changes everything!

More than at any time in the past, today's evangelicals struggle to understand what the essence of the Christian faith really is. The basic teachings of Jesus Christ have been lost in many pulpits and have been replaced with feel good doctrines foreign to God's Word. Christians who want to defend their faith must first have a basic understanding of what it is and how to support it with Scriptural proofs. This book assembles the fundamentals of the Christian religion in an easy-to-read, question-and-answer format. Whether you are continuing your pursuit of biblical knowledge or just beginning, this little instructional book will go a long way toward achieving your goal.

Many people react negatively to the word "catechism," viewing it with suspicion in the belief that it involves rote repetition of obscure points of doctrine. But nothing could be further from the truth. While there is little doubt that memorization has been an overlooked method of teaching, there are good reasons why Christians should retain this ancient practice of instruction. Training Young Hearts for Christ is anything but a dry discussion of minute points of doctrine. Instead, Adam Murrell offers fresh, helpful insights into some of Christianity's most cherished catechisms by presenting gospel truths to a young and modern generation in plain language that makes this complex subject easily understood. In so doing, he reminds all of us of what God has done for his people in this world and in the one to come.

Kivengere was a man of his age. Neither he nor the churches around him were perfect. But they had experienced God in an unusual way. I do not think his theology would meet the robust requirements of today. He was a child of the Keswick movementChrist-centred, pietistic, devotional. His preaching was anecdotal and winsome. It might not fit in easily with much of the evangelical scene as it is today. Our day may demand more accurate theological thinking although we cannot deny that Festo did indeed read deeply, extensively and constantly in very solid theological material. Yet for all that, Festo Kivengere has a great deal to teach us about personal love for Christ, unflagging belief in the power of the cross to save people and great endurance to the end.

CHRISTIANS HAVE QUESTIONS about so many issues today that pastors and Bible teachers can't sufficiently address them all at precisely the time an answer is needed. 5 Answers will give Christians a basic biblical perspective on some of these common issues, and it will provide any serious Bible student with ample resources for further research. Nathan is a faithful pastor and an excellent teacher. As a man who is truly interested in following God, he recognizes the importance of knowing and understanding what God has said. In this book he tackles five difficult questions, and skillfully guides us to biblically based answers. John Turpin, Author of the book Victorious Faith 5 Answers would be a useful tool for a pastor to give someone who has questions and wants to find answers through personal Bible study or in a small group setting. When I was younger in the faith I sought resources like this to help me nail down precisely what I believed. It is an easy, yet informative read. Jimmy Hazlett, Worship Pastor at New Hope Baptist Church in Moreland, KY Many Christians struggle and are in search of answers to tough questions in the Holy Scriptures. Nathan Garnett has made your research easier by dealing with the most problematic areas of biblical truth. Darrell H. Hahn, Hospice Chaplain Pastors and seminary students want our work, even our academic writing, to be beneficial to our own souls and also to our churches and families. Unfortunately, much of our academic work usually provides little direct benefit to those whom we care about the most. To resolve this deficiency, Nathan has re-cast the produce of some of his best research into a more user-friendly format. Hes done this mainly with his family and church in his mind and on his heart. I think hes done us all a great service in the process. Chris Wilson, Pastor of Payneville Baptist Church in Payneville, KY
